Escape Room in Norfolk Foundation Gallery:

This exhibition invites the visitor to step inside Jeanguenat’s artist mind through the forest and literature inspired design of the gallery. The gallery features an escape room where visitors with a party of 4 to 6 can play and see if they can find the final clue. The group must report the time of completion to the Visual Arts Manager, Nana Ferdnance. The group who completes the escape room with the best time will receive a reward created by Chris Jeanguenat. You do not want to miss this exhibition!

Chris Jeanguenat is a visual artist based in Suffolk, Virginia and depicts earthy gothic and botanical scenes in her artwork and custom frames. Her artwork tells a story of a young, misfit girl who explores the world on her terms whether it is exploring the majestic woods or oceans. Jeanguenat’s intention is to encourage young girls to be brave and adventurous, where no one can put them in a box.
